Jealousy- other dogs getting attention |

niqnet:
Hi, We've reached hurdle number 2. Astrid has been having play dates with another pup in a neutral territory off the lead. They get on well and typically charge round and roll about together. Bronny pup is a few months younger but is similar in size as she is a Sprocker. Twice now when I have attempted to fuss Bronny, Astrid has told her off. I've attempted putting them both in a sit and giving a treat one and a time and this went ok, it just seems to be me giving attention to Bronny. It's only happened twice but this isn't my first rodeo with cockers and I know how easily this stuff can become entrenched and difficult to deal with. Ideas please on teaching Astrid to behave in this situation?? Notes on Astrid- very trainable, food orientated and otherwise brilliantly well behaved. I've witnessed no resourcing guarding of me with regards to the cat or children. Astrid is now 6 months old. |
